20. CHICKEN - URBAN LEGENDS
THE URBAN LEGEND GOES AS FOLLOWS:
Just some information for those who care.
During a recent study of KFC done at the University of New Hampshire, they found some very upsetting facts.
First of all, has anybody noticed that just recently, the company has changed their name? Kentucky Fried Chicken has become KFC.. The reason why they call
it KFC is because they can not use the word chicken anymore. Why? KFC does not use real chickens. They actually use genetically manipulated organisms.
These so called "chickens" are kept alive by tubes inserted into their bodies to pump blood and nutrients throughout their structure. They have no beaks, no
feathers, and no feet. Their bone structure is dramatically shrunk to get more meat out of them. This is great for KFC because they do not have to pay so
much for their production costs. There is no more plucking of the feathers or the removal of the beaks and feet.
